The Dinosaur of Lake Michigan

Sunday, August 23, 2026 · 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM

An explorer fascinated by the legends of monsters in the Great Lakes invites audiences to join her on her treasure hunt for the elusive “dinosaur of Lake Michigan”, also known as a sturgeon! Taking place near Chicago's bodies of water, The Dinosaur of Lake Michigan highlights the importance of community care in light of the ever growing climate emergency. Kerfuffle and Rabbitfoot Puppetry use hyper realistic animal puppets made out of recyclable items, live music, and physical storytelling to bring this participatory play to life. 

The Dinosaur of Lake Michigan is an outdoor puppet play designed for very young children aged 3-6 with their caregivers.
